The Anger Monster

·17 min·1 clip

The people learn to greet the anger monster with kindness, saying, 'Hello, anger monster. You must be here to teach me something.'

Lily the frog narrates an original fairy tale about a lowly servant boy in a castle who discovers a mysterious, growing 'anger monster' on the king's throne. The monster feeds on the anger and blame of the castle's important staff, growing larger with each attack, until the boy and a loyal, unimpressive dog discover that kindness is the only way to shrink it. The story delivers an allegorical lesson about managing anger through compassion and acceptance.
